the one that will help me blend in with the tablecloths.
...
AND then I found it on Ebay at 1/3rd the cost.
It was my size, worn once, and I took a risk.
I was so excited when it was delivered that I didnt even bother to take off my jeans...
or workboots...
It was prettier then the original retail picture when I first saw it -
and it had GLASS BEADS!
Shiny glass BEADs!!
And it was made of SILK -
CATERPILLAR GOLD SPIT!!!
THE BEST!!
Even the french lace
had the shiny glass beads...
and it made my next year
"OMgosh I will be a half of a century old" be-hind
look at least 10 years younger!!!
But most importantly, I felt like a queen in it.
a good queen mother...
who will blend in with the tablecloths.
Bride "Arwen" has given approval.

So what do you think?

And a note to the foxy lady wearing the dress that will blend in with the table cloths.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell when the preacher is getting a bit older. He thinks the mother of the bride looks better than the bride. But that's just a secret between the two of us. OK? (Oh, and of course, your many readers, but they don't count, do they?)
